Before Surgery!

This is right before I walked her into surgery. Avery knew and when we got into the OR she cried her eyes out. She looked around and saw everybody all gowned up and she was scared. I held her until they gave her the the anesthetic. I am always so grateful I could be there for this part.
This is all Avery wanted to do and I was just fine with it! I was getting sick to my stomach by this time and feel faint. We take this long walk to get to surgery and every time down this long hallway, I feel like I am going to faint. This time there was a hint of excitement though just knowing that she needed this surgery and that it might be her last for years. Reading magazines with mom just before going up. Avery was pulling at her hospital PJ's and the toe monitor. She wanted nothing to do with all this hospital stuff. We had an easy time getting up and out of the house which was great. We were able to feed her until 4:30 am and then juice until 6:30 so it was a breeze. She chugged a bottle of juice at 6 and didn't really seem hungry before surgery. Which started early.. about 8:45am.

Looking at all the equipment before we headed up to surgery. She wanted nothing to do with the staff. Screamed when they wanted to get near here.. She knew this time! She clung to mommy the whole time.
